I'm not telling you to do anything. I'm just trying to suggest helpful alternatives, based on what I use.
"Being told" had nothing to do with anything you wrote. It was a minor reference to Andreas' word choice, and more seriously paternalism on the issues of security generally.
That said, you must have missed the implication of "multi-multiboot". ssh is only tolerable[1] the first time used on a system. The next and successive installations require all kinds of overhead because the client keyed on the first used installation.
I don't see a problem. Or I don't understand it.
If you mean that the ssh client complains that the target machine has changed fingerprints, that has solutions. One is to tell the client to forget the previous fingerprint - this is either a command, for which you get the hint in the error message, or deleting an easy to find line in a text file, and try again.
I tried the figuring out which one before. It makes me cross-eyed trying with the multitude of installations here. The need to forget each time is another one of those things I disagree with on principle. I'm spoiled by the simplicity of NFS, where all needs done to configure is provide an IP range on the server, and what needs doing between machines is easily done.
The other is to use a different IP for each of the multiboot installs.
That would never work here, too many installations on too many machines.
[1] ssh is not enabled/configured by default, so by the time you need it you have a chicken<>egg problem.
True, but it is a single click on the summary system install screen. I have a small cheat-sheet (in actual paper) of absolutely needed customizations I should do directly on installation, on that screen, and
Mine wouldn't fit on one letter sheet in a type size big enough for me to read. :-p I do the ones I remember from memory and scanning various categories, then taboo those I don't want out of the summary list.
I do them. Ticking the ssh one is in fact the easiest of all the modifications I do.
ISTR simply having it installed in a systemd world isn't sufficient. Life was oh so much simpler using chkconfig. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
